Orienteering race 1:12:02 [5] 7.4 km (9:44 / km) +340m 7:55 / km
shoes: Inov8 mudclaw 300
Scottish 6 Days Glen Affric North
almost clean, time losses calculated in seconds, hesitation where I slowed to check the map/terrain, tracks didn't always lead to the controls so you had to leave them, for example at #1, where I caught JD and Fraser Purves, but couldn't keep up with them on the long leg - I was stumbling around in the tussocks. Saw Fraser running the wrong way into #12 and then - finally - zoned in on Frostbite approaching #16, passed him after punching the last
27th, 14mins behind Eikanger, less than 8 behind Logue

Orienteering race 1:40:54 [5] 7.9 km (12:46 / km) +275m 10:53 / km
shoes: Inov8 Oroc 340
Scottish 6 Days Glen Affric South
I'd heard this could be rough, but did the course have to be so long ... for an early starter this was about survial, good 'run' technically, but some route choice errors and misfortune in finding windblown and green, wish I'd sat it out, frankly
56th, whatever

shoes: Inov8 mudclaw 300
Scottish 6 Days, Darnaway West
better, reached #3 before both my 1min and 2mins men (Andy Thorpe and Fraser Purves), just about kept them in sight until #7, and once the elastic broke, bingo, a mistake, couple of route choice errors and a poor exit from one control, but a good race on the whole, pace dropped on the way to #11, knackered
44th, 13mins behind the winner

shoes: Jalas FLX
Scottish 6 Day, Darnaway East
disappointing, felt good, ran quite well, but it seems I was off the pace, not to mention missing at #2 and #4, still great orienteering

shoes: Inov8 Oroc 340
Scottish 6 Days, Glen Strathfarrar
tough going, had hoped to attack the course today with a late start but the delays and the sunshine didn't help, very slow through 1-3, forgot my glasses but got away with it
34th (14th GBR), 14mins behind (beat JD by nearly 2mins)
